Crush

About This Movie

Crush (1992) dives into the chaos unleashed by a car crash, intertwining the lives of three distinct women – an awkward teen fumbling through adolescence, a dangerously seductive femme fatale, and a wheelchair-bound critic whose sharp observations cut through the tension. The film carries a gritty tone, almost raw in its execution, blending drama and thriller elements. Pacing is uneven, which contributes to a disconcerting feel that matches its themes of obsession and transformation. The practical effects surrounding the crash are striking for their era, and the performances, especially by the femme fatale, are compellingly unsettling. It's the interplay of these characters and their dark motivations that makes it a noteworthy piece in the early '90s indie scene.
